ALTERED CELLULAR DISTRIBUTION AND SUB-CELLULAR SORTING OF DOPPEL (DPL) PROTEIN IN HUMAN ASTROCYTOMA CELL LINES

Altered Cellular Distribution and Sub-Cellular Sorting of Doppel (Dpl) Protein in Human Astrocytoma Cell Lines

Doppel, a prion-like protein, is a GPI-membrane anchored protein generally not expressed in the Central Nervous System (CNS) of different mammalian species, including human.Nevertheless, in astrocytomas, a particular kind of glial tumors, the doppel encoding gene (PRND) is over-expressed and the corresponding protein product (Dpl) is ectopically lo

Diversity of insects associated with two common plants in the Brazilian Cerrado: Responses of two guilds of herbivores to bottom-up and top-down forces

The Trophic Cascade Theory has been used to explain the organization of herbivorous insect communities in tropical ecosystems.In addition, the insect community associated with a species of plant can also be determined by the geographical distribution and taxonomic isolation of the plant.In this study, the following predictions about the Plant Pots
